it's disturbing how little comments mention Skyrim. every detail, object, backdrop, etc looks like a handcrafted masterpiece on it's own, it's amazing how great the visuals look. the gameplay is W00000T awesome, flows perfectly and victory against enemies always gives the player the ultimate satisfaction a nordic warrior can feel in battle. the leveling up system is a bit new for bethesda as opposed to how they've done the other elder scrolls and fallout games; using certain skills levels up that skill, and earning an overall level up grants you to choose a perk which rewards you with noticeable material gain. this is extremely rewarding for the player and makes every game experience different from the last or the next, unless you're Rain Man. sure, there are bugs here and there that require batches, and bethesda has a nasty habbit of releasing games with those bugs, but they're still quick about getting those updates and patches when they need to. in addition to that, DLC has been confirmed to be coming to Skyrim, and if Fallout 3 and new vegas taught me anything, it's that bethsda makes damn good DLC.
need i mention dragons and memes? it's been a while since i've seen a dragon in a game, (probably because i spent all my time before skyrim playing gears of war 3 and halo, but back to the point) and Bethesda did a damn good job of making some seriously epic dragons. Skyrim has also generated abnormally large amounts of memes and inside jokes like those hilarious fus ro dah videos, "arrow in the knee", sweet roll theif, and more to come. now 3 memes is by no means a large amount, but compared to other games, well, it's the one of the only games to have it's own memes. i've honestly never seen a meme from Mass effect 1 or 2, dragon age: origins, fallout 3, or much anything. Skyrim and other Bethesda games also have editing modes (or something, i dunno how it works) for their games for PC gamers, which allows the gamer to have even more fun outside the game.
Flawless and near addicting gameplay, hopes for what will be exciting DLC, a devoted and growing fanbase, and arrows in the knee are what make Skyrim the best RPG so far. fuck link to the past.
